Hello All,
Just finishing up some final touches on an engine bay restoration on my '66 300 convertible with A/C. We took it for a test drive last night and the dash and headlights were flickering and the ammeter was jumping around fro discharge to charge in conjunction with the lights flickering.
We completely redid the wiring inside the engine bay and followed the service manual schematic for wire sizes. We also replaced the alternator and voltage regulator. The alternator was purchased from advanced and is rated for 60 Amps.
Could one of these two items already going bad?
Please share any tips or ideas.
